Remembering my brother

My oldest brother, John Christopher Morgan died early Saturday in St. Louis. Chris flew Hueys in Viet-Nam with the 25th. It was around 1968 or 1969. I remember him talking about Tay Ninh and the mountain Nui ba Den. He sent home lots of pictures of the choppers and the area. He would show me the Hueys, Hillers, Sikorsky sky cranes. He survived Viet-Nam but not a 3 year fight with Leukemia. After the army he was a police officer in our home town of Ferguson, MO. He then drove trucks for a while and was a police dispatcher in Florissant, MO.
If anyone knew Chris I would like to hear from you.
Thank you to all here for your service.

Re: Remembering my brother

Tom,
this is late but I just found this site and was looking for info on my friends and people that searved with in the same AO and same time frame. I did not know your brother directly, but given the enormous number of flights I made as a grunt in 3rd platoon, Charlie Co., 2/14th, I must have been carried to and/or from several missions by him.
I want to say that you must be proud of him, these guys were amazing and brave. I still miss the ground hugging, hedgerow hopping we would do with these great pilots. There is a little of all those verterans a part of me today. I am sure that he is remembered by a lot of vets like myself even though we never got to meet other than the glance as they would have at us when they landed for extracvtion. Sincerely Les Hudelson

PS: I hope that he / and his survivors were able to get all of his proper compensation for his service related conditions.
